Christmas time

We had a great christmas.  Sadly I took harldy any pictures.  We had the greatest time at Holly's with all the relatives on the palmer side.  It really made it feel like Christmas doing the Nativity with songs, and then doing our old family tradition of singing around the tree.  Craig had to work so we went alone, but left a little early so we were home by 8:30.  Craig got home about 9.  He went to see a movie because he got off work before we got home.  Christmas was all set up by 10:30.  I was suprised with a digital antena so now we can watch some TV.  Jaden woke up early but did not scream and cry from 1am until 6am like last year.  So that was nice.  But Christmas was all open by 7:10 am.  Which was okay because we had to clean and shower up for Sierra's blessing.  After church we had those relatives come back to our house and we had a nice time eating and playing games.  Everyone was gone by 6:30 and we had time to just relax and enjoy the rest of Christmas.  It was a great day.  For our anniversary we went out to eat and to a movie.  The next day I had another detist appointment more cavities filled.  Did that on the week before Christmas too.  So now its all done before the end of the year.  We also went to Costco and got new glasses ordered before the end of the year too.  And we will finish our order here in the new year.  So Craig and I will see beautifully in the sunshine and just in general.
Today we are starting to potty train Jackson.  Its long overdue, but so much work.
The kids have been fighting and crying almost nonstop this christmas break.  So school will be nice again for that reason.
Jackson is now a sunbeam.  So far so good.  He sat nicely in class.  But once he warms up it will be a crazy class.  His friend Holden is in the class and they once nocked over a shelf at preschool with all there wrestling.
On new years eve we went to our friends house for a couple of hours and Jackson and his friend Holden got into the dry eraser markers.  So he had black all over his face and hair.  He is a cute kid.  However then walking home from the park/school yesterday evening he was upset about something and it took my a half hour to get him home when he was only 3 houses away from ours.  Neighbors were coming out to check and see if he was okay because I had 3 other kids at the house that I had to keep checking on.  Anyhow, that was the break in a nutshell.  I know I forgot a lot, but I am running on such little sleep you can't expect much from me.
